Famous quotes containing the words original and/or face:

    “To my fancy, one looks back on life, it has only two responsibilities, which include all the others: one is the bringing of new life into existence; the other, educating it after it is brought in. All betrayals of trust result from these original sins.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “the rusty
    Pump pumps over your sweating face the clear
    Water, cold, so cold! you cup your hands
    And gulp from them the dailiness of life.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
